Each year on our Fordhook Farms we try out hundreds of varieties of Dahlias and select those that are the best 
growers, freest bloomers and which we recommend as the best for you to plant. All are listed here with some 
outstanding varieties that we, ourselves, have created. Whether you select the massive Decorative, the lovely 
Cactus, the attractive Miniatures or the small Pompon varieties, you will be delighted with the results. We 
supply strong root divisions from field-grown clumps. We pay postage. 
Pompon Dahlias have always been 
favorites with flower lovers and 
Dahlia fanciers. These smallest of 
all Dahlias combine so many pleas¬ 
ant features that they justly deserve 
a place in every garden. They grow 
freely and require little care after 
planting, and bring forth a wealth 
of blooms, rewarding the grower 
with a generous supply of gorgeous 
cut flowers during the late summer 
and fall.
